Eaton PLHT-20-V miniature circuit breaker – 20A with 25 kA breaking capacity
The Eaton PLHT-20-V miniature circuit breaker offers powerful protection with a rated breaking capacity of 25 kA. This significantly surpasses the standard PLSM series. It is therefore particularly suitable for applications with high short-circuit currents and is the right choice for industrial and extended commercial installations.
The PLHT-20-V operates with a characteristic similar to curve D. This allows it to tolerate particularly high inrush currents. Consequently, it is ideally suited for transformers, large motors, and welding equipment. Furthermore, it is tested according to the industry standard IEC/EN 60947-2. This differs from standard circuit breakers, which are approved according to IEC/EN 60898-1.
The 25 kA breaking capacity is the decisive advantage of this series, as significantly higher short-circuit currents occur in industrial environments. Furthermore, energy limiting class 3 offers additional protection, ensuring that downstream components are protected even in the event of severe faults.
The Eaton PLHT-20-V miniature circuit breaker occupies one DIN rail module. Its width is 27 mm. It accepts conductor cross-sections from 2.5 to 50 mm². It can also be combined with additional devices.
